Being Powerful

I just finished reading an Email from one of the Navy SEALs I trained. He is now on his third deployment, this time in Iraq. I can’t help but remember, this was the person I met almost 7 years ago when he had just turned 19 and being a Navy SEAL was only a dream.

Now, I’m sure a lot of you are aware of the type of training it takes to become a SEAL. It’s brutal, physically and mentally and when you saw this guy at 19, he weighed 135 lbs at 5’6″ you might not have taken his goal seriously. While I did, the important element in his achievement was that HE did.

He was connected with his power. This isn’t to say he didn’t have his fears or doubts. He did, we all do. But he knew in his heart what was his truth, where his desires lay and he had the courage to go for it. With everything he had.

That is where the true power is. Having believe in yourself. Courage to move forward despite all evidence showing otherwise. And to go all in with personal commitment. There is no room for second guessing, questioning yourself.

So many of us get caught in the framework of ‘is it the right thing to do’, or issues of worthiness and fears pop up.

The very fact that you desire something is all the proof you need that it’s appropriate. There is no need to hold yourself to anything less than you truly desire. Allow yourself the opportunity to truly HAVE what it is you really desire. No need to play small any longer. You ARE worthy of your goals, and your goals worthy of you.

And once the desire is there, go for it. Completely. Let go of second guessing yourself, or having to be perfect, or having all the answers.

Very awesome information. I am glad to have read your piece David. You guys are really helping me realizing…Reading motivational spiritual truths, who knew it would create much NEW ATTITUDE IN ME or those like me? TY. You guys are all great trainers, thank you for the opportunities.

I absolutely believe in the power of manifestation, and just want to share a quick story that happened to me just two day’s ago.
I was visiting Amma ( the incarnation of divine love, free hug movement) in L.-A. 3000-4000 people had come to get a hug and be blessed by her.
Everyone had to take a token. The ceremony started at 8pm at midnight the group she was hugging was token F1, so we figured we were in for the long haul.
An hour later I went by a monitor and saw N 15.
My token was O2 so I rushed over to my friend and told her:it’s almost our turn!” wondering why all the sudden the line had moved up so fast.
Before you know it this guy appears out of now where, inviting us to come along, guiding us directly to the front row, we felt like a movie had just started.
Finally we get seated in front of the stage, next group to be hugged.
I look at the big screen and the announcement says token I 5.
I get completely discouraged and ready to just get up and leave it dawns on me that what had happened was that I read token I 5 for toke N 15, I was totally bummed.
But being in this movie the guards ask us for our token I try to tell them I lost it trying to prevent them from putting me back in line.
Their response is well we just need a token doesn’t matter what’s on it.
So we get our hugs at 2 am instead of 10.
So the moral o this story is that I was ready and so I whole heartedly believed it was our turn and so it was! Amen!
